In October this year, the Flight Sim Show returned to the UK, and was bigger and better than ever before. With over 1800 attendees and nearly 40 exhibitors attending, it was the largest UK show ever. In much the same way as last year's show, Michael Hayward was luckily enough to be able to interview some of the largest developers on the simulator scene, with many questions poised by you, the flightsim community.

Our man on the scene Tony Vallillo reports on his first day at FlightSimExpo being held this weekend in Las Vegas. With the expo not yet having begun, he spends Friday checking out the other aviation possibilities and visits a place where you can use a real Level D simulator.

The flight simulator show Flight Sim 2017 returned to the RAF Museum Cosford UK for the fifth consecutive year. Hosted by Just Flight and PC Pilot, this was the largest one yet with 1800 attendees and over 35 exhibitors. Michael Hayward was there and offers his report.

The Collings Foundation is one of the premier restorers and operators of historic aircraft, and through their "Wings Of Freedom Tour" bring a variety of WWII era aircraft all around the U.S. for people to experience. Earlier this week, Nels Anderson had the opportunity to visit one of their stops and fly in their B-25 Mitchell "Tondelayo", and shares his experience here in words and photos.

Yesterday, Dovetail Games (DTG) released the latest addition to the world of flight simulators for 2017 with Flight Sim World becoming available on Steam as an Early Access release. Remember that Early Access means this sim is still under development, with early users being able to contribute to that. Thanks to Michael Hayward, we offer a first look at what FSW has to offer.

The European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE 2013) just ended in Geneva. The convention showcased a variety of new and improved aircraft from companies like Piper, Cessna, Embraer, Beech, Bombardier and more.

When he's not flying 767's for American Airlines, Tony Vallillo enjoys other types of aviation. And what better place for an aviation fan to be than Oshkosh during the EAA's annual AirVenture, a week long air show and overall aviation event. Tony has just returned for AirVenture 2004 and offers his report here.
